Note

Begins with a brief, well-known description of English imperialism, — then American — Russian — Japanese — German imperialism ("Imperialism and Imperialists". Introduction.)

Ch. I. "The Origins of German Imperialism". (1870.— Development and growth. Well-known data and figures. The same "journalistic" character as in W. Bérard.)

Ch. II. "The Soul of Imperialist Germany"....
and "der Herr Doktor" — and Mommsen and Treitschke,... salon chatter! — and little citations from Marx (via Bourdeau — Bourdeau)... Wretched work.

Ch. III. "Imperialist Policy".
... "The twentieth century inaugurates the reign of the barons of high finance" (165) — and a citation from Toussenel: "The Jews, Kings of the Epoch" (!!).

Ch. IV. "Yesterday". Figures and figures on the economic growth of Germany. The Baghdad railway etc.

Ch. V. "Today". — On the crisis of 1901 — chatter...

Ch. VI. "Tomorrow".

A little bit of everything!..
